Belgium is set to face Azerbaijan in their final UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier at the King Baudouin Stadium this Sunday.
In their previous qualifier against Sweden, the match was abandoned due to a terrorist incident in Brussels, prompting a rescheduled friendly against Serbia. Belgium secured a 1-0 victory, with Yannick Carrasco’s early goal making the difference.

Azerbaijan, coming off a 3-0 win over Sweden, will be without Bahlul Mustafazada, serving a suspension from a red card in the previous match.
Both teams have already qualified for the main event next year, rendering this match a formality.
Head-to-head, Belgium has an unbeaten record against Azerbaijan in five meetings, winning four. The reverse fixture ended 1-0 in Belgium’s favor, maintaining their unbeaten run in the qualifiers with five wins in seven games.
Belgium, unbeaten in their last 10 games, aims to conclude the campaign without a loss. Domenico Tedesco may reintroduce key players rested in the friendly. Azerbaijan, having scored three goals for the first time in European qualifiers since 2011, will seek to continue their goal-scoring form.
Despite the game’s lack of significance, both teams aim to end the campaign positively. Considering Belgium’s dominance and current form, they are likely to secure a narrow victory.
Prediction: Belgium 2-1 Azerbaijan
